2、ponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or
3、upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can
4、, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is
5、very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If you look at children, youll see great difference between what we call “bright“ children and “notbright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with di
6、fferent amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life: he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; there seems to be a wall between him and life in general. 1 According to
7、 this passage, intelligence is_. （ A） the ability to study well （ B） the ability to do well in school （ C） the ability to deal with life （ D） the ability to get high scores on some tests 2 In a new situation, an intelligent person_. （ A） knows more about what might happen to him （ B） is sure of the
8、result he will get （ C） concentrates on what to do about the situation （ D） cares more about himself 3 If an intelligent person failed, he would_. （ A） try not to feel ashamed （ B） learn from his experiences （ C） try to regret as much as possible （ D） make sure what result he would get 4 Bright chil
9、dren and not-bright children_. （ A） are two different types of children （ B） are different mainly in their degree of cleverness （ C） have difference only in their way of thinking （ D） have different knowledge about the world 5 The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about_. （ A） ho
10、w to determine what intelligence is （ B） how education should be found （ C） how to solve practical problems （ D） how an unintelligent person should be taught 5 Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big h
11、ouse and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of
12、needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Th
13、en, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of
14、goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three
15、levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumer
16、s may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the
17、first four levels. 6 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_. （ A） he has saved up enough money （ B） he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter （ C） he has satisfied his hunger （ D） he has learned to build houses 7 It can be inferr
18、ed from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans_. （ A） were very rich （ B） lived in poverty （ C） had the good things on the first three levels （ D） did not own automobiles 8 Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction“? （ A） A successful career. （ B） A comfort
19、able home. （ C） A good meal. （ D） A family ear. 9 What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? （ A） The more goods the better. （ B） The more mental satisfaction the better. （ C） The more “luxury“ items the better. （ D） The more earnings the better. 10 The author tends to think that the fifth
20、 level_. （ A） would be little better than the fourth level （ B） may be a lot more desirable than the first four （ C） can be the last and most satisfying level （ D） will become attainable before the government takes actions 10 We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is
21、 that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, of
22、ten show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man
23、is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise“ can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!“ Sticking out your tongue in English is a
24、n insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that ol
25、der people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 11 According to the passage, _. （ A） we can hardly understand what peoples gestures mean （ B） we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures （ C） words
26、 can be better understood by older people （ D） gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not 12 Peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood because_. （ A） people of different ages may have different understanding （ B） people have different cultures （ C） people of different
